[issue5364] documentation in epub format
Kristof Csillag added the comment: I have prepared a patch to build the 2.7 docs in EPUB format, too. (Since this was already done on Python 3; this is only a very simple backport of a few lines in a Makefile, a readme and a HTML download page.) -- keywords: +patch nosy: +csillag Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27893/docs_in_epub_for_2.7.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5364 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

James Polley jamezpol...@gmail.com added the comment: It looks like the first release that had epub support was 1.0; docs.python.org is still using 0.6.7, according to the footer on the bottom of the page. I suspect that this is (A) pending the upgrade to 1.0.0, which is (B) more difficult than it sounds like, or at least, needs someone to make a concerted effort, and (C) should automatically just happen (or at least, be fairly trivial) once the move to the new version happens. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5364 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Sandro Tosi sandro.t...@gmail.com added the comment: Hello James, please note that EPUB is already available for Python 3 documentation: http://docs.python.org/py3k/download.html . We will probably make it available also for 2.7 when I'll find the time to work on upgrading sphinx on 2.7 branch. -- nosy: +sandro.tosi ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5364 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

James Polley jamezpol...@gmail.com added the comment: So http://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/sphinx/issue/140/ has now been closed; sphinx happily builds epub. However, the python docs are still not available for download in epub format from http://docs.python.org/download.html, which was the original request in this issue. -- nosy: +James.Polley ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5364 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Keith Fahlgren ke...@oreilly.com added the comment: I got the same impression: xhtml + extra markup for mobile readers. ePub is indeed based heavily on XHTML 1.1 and CSS and uses a fairly simple ZIP container. Having written DocBook-ePub tools, I'm happy to help anyone interested in doing rst2epub. -- nosy: +abdelazer ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5364 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Georg Brandl ge...@python.org added the comment: Well, the request is valid, so I'll leave this open here. Since the format seems to me to be nothing but XHTML with a bit of extra markup around it, it would be quite easy to write a builder for Sphinx (by copying from the HTML help one) to do it. Would you like to try that? ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5364 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue5364] documentation in epub format
New submission from wrobell wrob...@pld-linux.org:
python documentation can be downloaded in pdf format (a4, us letter),
html and text plain. they are useful for printing and computer based
viewing, but not so good to read on ebook hardware/software
(i.e. sony prs-{505,700} or stanza ebook reader).
it would be nice if python documentation could be downloaded in epub
format, which is open format for ebooks
http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/EPUB
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epub#IDPF.2FEPUB
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OEBPS
i believe that major publishers are providing ebooks in epub format
as well

Senthil orsent...@gmail.com added the comment: I got into thinking if sphinx-dev or docutils be the best place for this ticket? Python Documentation is nothing but ReStructured text and it is required to create a rst2epub that would convert restructured text to epub format. If you are already aware of any such tool, please point it to restructured text project for integration. Python Bug tracker might be a wrong place for this feature request, IMO. -- nosy: +orsenthil ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5364 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

wrobell wrob...@pld-linux.org added the comment: probably sphinx/docutils deserve their own tickets, but appropriate tools support will not guarantee, that documentation in epub format is going to be published on http://docs.python.org/download.html if documentation won't be published in this format, then i suggest to close the ticket. but the decision is not up to me. :) ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue5364 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
